-- WASHINGTONIAN MAGAZINE - March 2011 - The Kings Masons is included in the Top 200 List of Home Improvement Experts. "Since 1980, this firm has done masterful masonry, including patios, driveways, walkways, and fireplaces. Clients have included senators and CEOs."
-- RECENT COMMENT FROM CUSTOMER...Over the winter, one of your competitors stopped me as they drove by and asked who did the work on our stairs. So I told them and his comment was, "that's the best brick matching job that I've ever seen."
I have to agree, it's amazing how well the brick and mortar match our original, 80 year old brick and mortar. Kudos to you guys. I know now, why your staff argued about what brick to place where. They're like artists.
Pass along our continued love of the work you did to Richard and your staff.
-- FROM A CUSTOMER with TWO fireplaces, a new driveway, walkway, front porch and patio....Your crew did a fabulous job and we are loving it!
-- RECENT CHIMNEY REPAIR - The guys did an excellent job. Efficient. Great communication keeping me informed throughout the process. And Great craftsmanship. You can tell they take great pride in their work. My house is over 100 years old. They did such a great job, you would be hard pressed to notice it was recently repaired. Blends in perfectly! Will be more than happy to recommend your company to my neighbors and anyone else. Feel free to use me as a reference for future clients.
Work done on our model home was more than exceptional. I am a home builder/remodeler who uses his home as a model, the stone work done by The Kings Masons was just beautiful and shows both his work and mine in the best possible light. Through the years of knowing Richard Baker it has been a pleasure to refer him to my clients as well. I always get back thanks and compliments for his artistic skills and exceptional work crews. Conversly I have been recommended by TKM and what a pleasure to go to a customers home and find them delighted with the work already completed by The Kings Masons. What a pleasure to still find workmanship, skill and integrity in our construction field.
Richard came out to our house and spent over an hour just talking with us about what we wanted to do with our patio before he made any suggestions. He took the time to walk around the entire yard and listened to how we used the various spaces throughout the year. He then offered a plan (and a space) that we hadn't even considered. Not only was the patio beautiful, but the entire space was more useful. The previous owner stopped by last month and was totally amazed at the placement of the patio. He said "I never would have thought of putting it there (meaning an ugly spot in the yard.)" That is why we hired him. We got design help and a great patio. The value we received was worth much more than the price we paid.
Richard Baker and his crew did an outstanding job on our neighborhood entrance. We wanted a quality look for our front entrance but most designs were too expensive for our budget. The Kings Masons created a beautiful front entrance sign with custom stone work. Richard was very helpful with design proposals and found affordable solutions to our needs. He was even accommodating to our changes! His crew came on time and cleaned up after their work. We are very pleased with the final product- it creates a great entrance to our neighborhood.

Working with Richard Baker and his team at The King's Masons was a pleasure. From the initial design process through the end product my eyes were opened to the beauty and possibility of what can be done through quality masonry. Richard went above and beyond our expectations for our patio project and was professional and thorough. Everything was completed on time and we have now used Richard for several smaller paver projects and love his work.
-- FROM A CUSTOMER who had a patio installed... Everything looks very nice and Charlie was an excellent foreman, very easy to deal with and professional. Thank you, Richard, for everything you did and a job well done!
-- RECENT COMMENT FROM A CUSTOMER...What started out to be a fairly simple and inexpensive plan, by the end, turned into a more complex job, especially for The King’s Masons – all the more reason to sing your praises for a job well done in fulfilling a backyard that is very hospitable to us, and, of course, our dog. We are extremely pleased that after three years the plan has matured into what we were hoping it would. The stylistic patio is still fresh to us and has created a center of entertainment and pleasure. The curving stone wall has added texture, and a raised bed that is the main feature of the environment that your plan and work was supposed to, and did, very effectively create. Our real desire was not to create a look that people would say "oh, wow” about but to replicate and extend the comfortable nature of the interior of the house to the outside. With our large screened-in porch transitioning the house atmosphere to the patio and privacy of the yard, you have very effectively accomplished our goals.
Richard, thank you for your successful design, creation, and completion of our project. Mimi, thank you for your behind the scenes coordination and communication efforts. And, no….no one asked us to write this note. This is just sincere appreciation to a vendor that said what he could do, and, then did it.
-- RECENT CUSTOMER COMMENTS....We have been very happy with the work that has been done to date. The project team is highly skilled and they are all wonderful people.
-- The Kings Masons have just finished for us a new concrete/brick driveway and a new brick sidewalk to our front door. They did a superb job and are very dependable. Several years ago, The Kings Masons also replaced a retaining wall and have made repairs to our brick chimney. I recommend them highly. Call and ask for Richard Baker.
-- Superb job! My brick walkway, which is about 5-6 years old, looks brand new. People have complimented me on my "new" brick walkway. The workman was very professional, very courteous, and very helpful. I was very pleased with King's Mason's original installation and now am very pleased with this maintenance work to preserve the walkway.
-- We are always so pleased with all that you all do!! Thank you so much - and Mimi is such a joy!!
-- Superb work and great service! Thanks so much!
